Summary

Computer science program combines advanced courses on data analysis, hardware and software engineering, computer security and offers individual problem-oriented training trajectories.

The purpose of the Computer Science educational program is to prepare high-qualified specialists for IT industry, ready to solve following professional problems:

  • designing, developing and maintaining modern information systems and computer networks;
  • performing intellectual data analysis, signal processing and machine learning;
  • enabling security options for computer systems, networks and digital platforms;
  • implementing effective platforms for computing, web applications and e-commerce;
  • creating and developing software and hardware projects for financial and industrial enterprises. 

Computer science program integrates contemporary digital technologies, including software and hardware design, blockchain technology, computer security and cryptography, deep learning and data mining techniques. Great attention is paid to multiple processes and applications interaction via computer networks, including network design and security options, web interfaces and mobile programming, virtual and augmented reality technologies.

The program contains elective courses which allow to choose proper education trajectory, majoring in hardware or software design, accenting at theory and technologies of the artificial intelligence or practical aspects of the information systems development. All the core and elective courses are up-to-date and are checked to comply with the frontiers of corresponding IT researches.  Courses include examples of the state of art technologies and perspective researches held in MPEI or in the leading IT corporations. All the courses are supported by the contemporary laboratory equipment and professional software. It is assumed that students are to be individually consulted by tutors, having their own research programs related to the selected objective. Student may specialize in "pure" IT or in digital technologies implementation in power engineering, electrical engineering and electronics, telecommunications, finance and business.

Each student can select a domain of his own interest. Courses are supported by organizations and companies, that have a great experience in software and hardware engineering, data and signal processing, digital security (Department of computers, systems and networks of MPEI, Security code LLC., TrustedAccessTech LLC., Avicon tech. LLC)
